My first interview was a telephone screening regarding my background. 2 weeks later I had a 2nd phone interview that I believed went very well with the owner and CEO of the company. I was very excited about the opportunity and believed I would be an excellent candidate for the position. I was told at the end of the call I would be having a third interview. I continued to follow up via emails. Because the position I was interviewing for required email and telephone follow up, I felt that being assertive was appropriate. The third interview was scheduled with a training supervisor. This is when the interview process went downhill really fast! The original time scheduled was 10 a.m. I received an email that due to scheduling conflicts, I would need to reschedule for 2:30 in the afternoon. At the new scheduled time, I did not receive the expected call. Therefore, once again feeling that the position I was applying for required follow-up, I decided to contact the person I had an appointment with to make certain she was not expecting me to call her. She answered the call and explained that she was behind on her schedule and would call me back in a few minutes. She did call me back, however, she did not seem focused on our conversation and I was put on hold multiple times. She even had to disconnect from the middle of our conversation and call me back once again. By this time it was over an hour past our appointment. She had to cut me off when I was prepared to ask her a few questions and said could she call me back later that evening or over the weekend. I said that was fine and even followed up with an email to remind her and letting her know my weekend availability. Unfortunately, I never received a call or a response to my email. I followed up the next week with another email and did finally get the 4th (actually 5th) call. At this point I was extremely disappointed with the way things went with the conversations with the third interviewer. I am not really certain of where the ball was dropped or who dropped it. I always work hard to be a positive person with a happy and joyful outlook on life. I continued with the mindset that I would secure a position with WeightNot, do an excellent job for the company and be one of their top salespeople. I was determined that I would help as many people as possible achieve their weight and wellness goals. By doing this, I would be achieving my own goals as well. I have so much passion and compassion for people that are struggling with their weight. I have over 8 years of experience in the weight loss industry. I have always been very successful in sales because I help people with honesty and integrity. I relate to the overweight person with non-judging, understanding and support. About three years ago I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I never mentioned this to anybody at WeightNot because I did not want it to influence the decision to hire me in anyway. However, I have to admit that after going through that difficult journey, I vowed to help as many people get healthier in any way possible. Health, nutrition and wellness became a top priority in my life! I wanted to work for a company that would give me the opportunity to reach out to more people than ever before while learning about new information to help others and myself too. I am currently working in a very low volume location that does not allow me the challenges I feel I need not to mention about an hour from my home. Also, I wanted to work for a company that was less clinical and had a more natural approach to weight loss and wellness and was convinced that I had found a place to work long term that also allowed me to work from home. (I have even bought a stand up desk to keep me on my feet!) Anyway, I was sent the dreaded email stating that I did not get selected for the position. I couldn't believe it because in my mind, I already had it! (Positive thoughts bring positive actions, right?) I also must believe that everything happens for a reason, even my case of breast cancer! I wrote back a reply to the person who I believe made the final decision NOT to hire me. I reached out to her asking for feedback on where I fell short. It has been over a week since that email and she has not replied. I had already been offered another position in a different industry that even paid more than WeightNot. However, I decided I would instead continue my job search. I do not want to settle at this point because I am truly looking for a long term relationship in my next career move. I believe everything happens for a reason. I am not sure why I did not get an offer with WeightNot, however I will continue my job search with a positive outlook that I will be given the opportunity to get the right job with the right company and use my love of people and sales skills. The money will, like always be the icing on the cake! (With low sugar icing of course!)
